2 Two types Non bulkhead With bulkhead

3 Cargoes Cargoes which are non-hazardous and non-viscous with specific gravity less than 1.5 are compatible with flexitanks Some cargoes: Natural and synthetic latex Optical Brighteners Plasticizer Alcohols Polyols Printing Inks Process Oils Salt solutions Silicate Solutions Surfactants Synthetic Latex Synthetic Resins Tall Oil Fatty Acid

4 Cargoes Technical Oils Transformer Oils Transmission fluids Vegetable Oils Alkylates Base Oils Chlorinated Paraffin Colloidal Solutions Detergents Disinfectants/Sterilisers Dispersions Drilling Mud Oils Emulsions Engine Oils Fertilisers Glycerine Glycols Hydraulic Fluid Lubricating Oil Additives Lubricants Marine Oils White Oil (Pharmaceutical)

5 Cargoes Beer (Flat) Edible Oils Food Additives Fortified Wines Mineral Water Red and White Wines Sorbitol Fruit Juice concentrates Amino Acid

19 DISCHARGE PUMP INFORMATIONS Must be self-priming and positive displacement pumps Air Driven pumps such as a Wilden or Sandpipers are recommended Gear pumps are also recommended Centrifugal pumps cannot be used

20 Empty Flexitank Disposal Procedures Recycling : Polyethylene is extremely suitable for reuse. From an environmental point of view, polyethylene is one of the friendliest materials. It is a thermo-plastic material, which means it can be melted down and used for making products virtually indefinitely.

21 Empty Flexitank Disposal Procedures Disposal :- PER Plus Logistics perceives two means of disposal :- Incineration :- Incineration is the preferred disposal method. This consists of delivering the drained and packed Flexitank to designated and authorised company which complies with local and environmental regulations.

22 Empty Flexitank Disposal Procedures Landfill :- Landfill is the other disposal method. In this instance and after draining, all valves and vent ports should be removed from the flexitanks. The material of the Flexitank should then be cut into sizes no larger than one square yard (one square meter). The material can then be delivered to a designated and authorised company, which complies with local and environmental regulations

23 Emergency response protocol PER Plus Logistics has developed an Emergency Response Programme based upon our Regional Operating Partners. It covers all geographical areas in which we operate and provides immediate appropriate assistance.
